"

arrived within the time period agreed on and Installed a new link kit to repair the door dropping issue. The dishwasher had to be pulled" ...More out a foot or so to perform the task. After repairing the door issue, cleaning up, and putting all back in place he tested the dishwasher and discovered that the air gap to the garbage disposal was plugged. He unplugged it at no charge. (I asked my wife if she ever noticed water coming out of the air gap, she said she did but thought it was supposed to do that :-)). I was very pleased with this repair experience and will call on

in the future when another appliance repair is required.

"Luan picked up on my first call. He said he would come same day between 3 - 5 pm. He arrived at 3:30. After checking the freezer side of our refrigerator, he told" ...More me it was one of two things and how much it would cost to repair each one. I told him to go ahead. He found the one that was the problem (the board), showed me where it was "broken" and replaced it. He said it would take an hour and 15 minutes and he was done in just under that. At first, he told me $265 if it was the board as a cost. I thought he was talking about the part only but he was talking about the whole thing! I was pleasantly surprised.
He was prompt, efficient, clean and communicated with me clearly about it all.

If the ducts are venting through a window I'm assuming the duct work is all easily accessible. Lowe's and Home Depot sell a cleaning kit that uses an electric drill to spin the brush as it goes through the ductwork. I've found it to work quite well and you can do it yourself. It may take a few passes the first time to get everything out if it has been a while since it was last cleaned. Just make sure you get all of the loose lint out after running the brush through from both ends and you're good to go. Please note that if the line is not hard but rather a flex duct line you can easily puncture a whole in it with this kit and will do better to clean it by hand.

Typically just an inspection implies you do not have a contract or agreement that may include discounts or free repairs.

With our company you would get the annual maintenace service that you should do every year, and if repairs are needed, they are extra, but you aviod paying a "service call charge" that would be related to most repairs, because you are paying for the "inspection" and we are already on site.

Inspections are often discounted in the slow seasons, and can usually be found advertised , at reduced prices , on Angie's List.

So consider Angie's List and find the best of the best in HVAC contractors!

Since you asked this question over a year ago, I'm pretty sure you've already made your decision but I'd like to offer you some advice. You mentioned your husband vacuumed the coils and it worked for a couple more weeks. Chances are the condenser coils were very dirty when he did this. When refrigerator condenser coils are dirty, the compressor overheats and heat will cause a compressor to fail prematurely. You should vacuum or blow out your condenser coils regularly. Today's refrigerator compressors are not made to last like they were in the past. I remember when it wasn't unusual for a compressor to last 30 years. You won't see that happen with the way refrigerator compressors are made today. Regular cleaning of your condenser coils is crucial in preventing premature failure of your compressor.

and his helper came in, and i told him that the compressor was not working and showed him where the on off switch was. So he turned it on, and it made a "Clicking" sound then it "Hummed" for a few second's and then made a "Clicking" sound again and went off. So i told

...More that it usually did that, but that the compressor would come on, cycle and then Click and turn off etc.
Well,

the "Man" as i called him knew what exatly it might be right off. He said it sounded like the "Relay" switch too the compressor had gone out. So they took the back off the refrigerator off, and replaced the "Relay". And "BINGO", that was it. It started up and ran as smooth as

's.
And before in talking too

, i told him about the "Knocking" noise it made every time it started up. And then after a few seconds would go away. Well, in replacing the "Relay"

noitced that the Compressor's brackets were bent and the compressor was leaning too one side.
And he asked me if the refrigerator had ever been worked on before, and i told him no and that it had made this sound ever since it was new. and i know i should have done something about it when it was new and under warranty but i didn't. anyway, he said the noise i was hearing was coming from inside the compressor.
And that there is something inside that vibrate's, which was normal but because the compressor was "Leaning" too the side it was "Banging" on the metal houseing surounding it, and would continue unless the "Brackets" were straightened and the compressor stood up straight.
So needless too say, i was very impressed by him spotting that right off. So he straightened the "Brackets" and like "Magic" the knocking sound went away, and has not come back. So too end, he was there a total of about 15 min's and solved all the problems.
So thats why i call him the "Man", needless too say i was more then impressed and would recommend him too anyone in the future.
So that it for now, thank's again

and thank's for calling me back and straightening me out on that question i had.
Sincerely,

G. Dardanelli

Mr

was great. Our dryer was not heating. Cool air only. First he checked out the dryer and figured out what the problem was. During his check he also brought to other issues to our attention. First that we needed to have our circuit breaker changed to a higher rating to accommodate this dryer. And second that our dryer ...More vent needed to be cleaned out (possible fire hazard). He was very helpful.”

I woke in the middle of the night to hear a terrible buzzing sound from
my GE refrigerator. I called GE repair the next AM and was told I could have a repair
appointment in 7 days. I went on Angie's list and found LP Appliance. Mr.

was at my
door within a half an hour and the job was finished within and ...More hour. Mr.

is courteous,
professional, skilled and well priced (the above cost includes parts and labor). AND he is local.
I like to support local business when ever possible. He is now my "go-to-guy" for appliance repair.”

My 12 year old Maytag refrigerator stopped cooling, so I called

on Monday morning. They were very nice and able to schedule an appointment within a few hours.

(the owner) came on time and diagnosed the problem within a few minutes, a defective control board. He and his intern had to defrost the coils ...More in the freezer and install the control board.

told me up front the cost which I thought was very reasonable and he did not mind me asking questions and watching them work. I learned a lot and thought

did a great job and now my refrigerator works perfectly! I highly recommend

and

and would use them again.”

He gave excellent, honest advice to buy a new refrigerator instead of repairing it. I would trust or recommend this business in the future.”
